0:00:54 > 0:00:58MUSIC "The Gypsy" by The Ink Spots
0:00:58 > 0:01:01# In a quaint caravan
0:01:01 > 0:01:06# There's a lady they call the gypsy
0:01:10 > 0:01:13# She can look in the future
0:01:13 > 0:01:18# And drive away all your fears
0:01:21 > 0:01:25# Everything will come right
0:01:25 > 0:01:28# If you only believe
0:01:28 > 0:01:30# The gypsy... #
0:01:33 > 0:01:34So what do you do?
0:01:34 > 0:01:38I'm studying to be an actress. You?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm a longshoreman.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- No, I mean, really. - I mean really, too.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Although starting Monday I'm doing something a little more glamorous.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51- What's that? - Night cashier at the cafeteria.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56I don't mean how you make money. I mean what are you interested in?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Honey, if I had the answer to that one,
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I bet I'd bore us both to death in half an hour.
0:02:03 > 0:02:09# Somebody else was kissing you
0:02:10 > 0:02:13# But I'll go there again
0:02:13 > 0:02:21# Cos I want to believe the gypsy
0:02:21 > 0:02:25# That my lover is true
0:02:25 > 0:02:30# And will come back to me some day... #
0:02:34 > 0:02:38AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Thank God that's over.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48So much for the debut of The Laurel Players.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50And she was very disappointing.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01- Oh! Frank, very nice, Frank. - Thanks so much, Mrs Givings.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I can't tell you how much we enjoyed it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- You have a very talented wife. - Well, I'll pass it along, huh?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11SHE SOBS
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- Frank!- Oh, hi.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25She's in there. I'm about ready for that drink.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Couple of minutes.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38April? Sweetheart?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- Hi.- Hi.- You about ready to leave? - Yeah.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49I've just got to get this make-up off.
0:03:53 > 0:04:00I guess it wasn't a... a triumph or anything, was it?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05I guess not. I'll be ready in a minute.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Take your time.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Listen, would you do me a favour?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Milly and Shep wanted us to go out with them after.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Will you say we can't? Say it's because of the babysitter.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I already said that we could. I just saw them and said we would.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Would you mind going out again and saying you were mistaken?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- Don't you think that's a little rude? - Then I'll tell them myself.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32OK, take it easy, all right? I'll tell them.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16- I mean it, baby, you were the only person in that play.- Thank you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21I shouldn't have let you get mixed up in the damn thing, that's all.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23All right.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27A bunch of amateurs. You've studied, for Christ's sake -
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Could we stop talking about it now? - Sure.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34I just don't want you feeling bad about it, that's all,
0:05:34 > 0:05:35because it's not worth it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- It's bad enough having to live out here amongst these people, let... - Yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- What did you say? - I said yes. All right, Frank.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Could you just stop talking about it before you drive me crazy, please?
0:05:50 > 0:05:51What are you doing?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- April. Sweetheart, let's talk about this.- Please, don't do that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Come on, now.- Don't touch me. - April...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Just leave me alone!
0:06:17 > 0:06:19OK. OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It strikes me there's a considerable amount of bullshit going on
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and there's a few things I'd like to clear up, all right?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31Number one. It's not my fault that the play was lousy, OK?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Number two, it sure as hell isn't my fault
0:06:34 > 0:06:37that you didn't turn out to be an actress and the sooner you get over
0:06:37 > 0:06:40that little piece of soap opera the better off we're both going to be.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Number three, I don't happen to fit the role
0:06:43 > 0:06:45of dumb, insensitive, suburban husband.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You've been trying to lay that crap on me since we moved out here
0:06:48 > 0:06:52and I'm damned if I'll wear it. Number four, April!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55April!
0:06:56 > 0:06:58April.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- What the hell are you doing? Get back in the car.- No.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- I will in a minute, just let me stand here for a second.- Goddamn it!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12April. Can we please just get back in the car and talk about this
0:07:12 > 0:07:14instead of running all over Route 12.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Haven't I made it clear I don't want to talk about it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Jesus, I'm trying to be nice about this thing here.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23How kind of you. How terribly, terribly kind of you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I don't deserve this.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27You're always so definite on the subject
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- of what you do and don't deserve. - Wait a min...
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Wait a goddamn... April, you listen to me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37This is one time you're not going to get away with twisting what I say.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40This happens to be one goddamn time I know I'm not in the wrong here.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I wish you'd stayed home.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45When you're like this, you're sick. I really mean that. You're sick!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Do you know what you are? - What?- You're disgusting!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52You don't fool me. Just because you got me in this little trap,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55you think you can bully me into feeling what you want me to feel.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- You in a trap?! - Yes. Me, Frank, me.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Jesus Christ, don't make me laugh!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02You pathetic, self-deluded little boy.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Look at you. Tell me how by any stretch of the imagination
0:08:06 > 0:08:08you can call yourself a man.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Fuck...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Ow, Jesus Christ!
0:08:29 > 0:08:34- Don't look at me like that, April. - Could we please go home now?
0:10:35 > 0:10:36Fifteenth floor.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I'm going to need your help this morning, old scout.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57For the next few hours you're to warn me of Bandy's every approach.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02You may need to shield me from public view in the likely event I void my stomach.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- It's that bad.- Morning, Jack.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Nothing good about it, I assure you.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Of course I knew the moment you stepped off the train what you were looking for.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36A small, remodelled barn or a carriage house.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I just hate to be the one to tell you that sort of thing isn't available any more.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43But I don't want you to despair.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47There is one place up here I want to show you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Now of course it isn't very desirable at this end.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55As you can see, Crawford Road is mostly these little cinder blocky,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56pick-up trucky places.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Plumbers, carpenters, little local people of that sort.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04But eventually it leads up to Revolutionary Road,
0:12:04 > 0:12:05which is much nicer.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Now the place I want to show you is a sweet little house,
0:12:09 > 0:12:10sweet little setting.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15Simple clean lines, good lawns, marvellous for children.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17It's just around this next curve.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Now you'll see it.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23There. See the little white one?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Sweet, isn't it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28That perky way it sits there on its little slope.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Charming, isn't it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Oh, yes.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46You wanted to see me?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Came for you from Toledo this morning. The third one this month.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50I thought I'd...
0:12:50 > 0:12:55I'm not prepared to have this conversation again, you understand?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- I was literally just...- These folks in the provinces look up to us.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01We need to be efficient, we can't have this back and forth.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05It's just not efficient. Am I right?
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Yes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- What was that about? - Toledo.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Branch manager wants a revised brochure for the conference
0:13:14 > 0:13:15on the Knox 500.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19"It's just not efficient, am I right?"
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Sounds like a goody.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I don't even know what the Knox 500 does, do you?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25Don't insult me.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44If you look in the inactive file under SP-1109,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48you'll find copies of all the stuff we sent to the agency.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53That way we can trace the thing back to its, um, original sources.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Listen, I hope you weren't planning on having an early lunch.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03No. I'm not really hungry.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- Good, I'll check on you later, all right?- OK.- OK.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15You know something, Maureen?
0:14:15 > 0:14:16You're lucky you met me.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Oh, how's that?
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I think I can show you the ropes.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26There's a certain art to survival at Knox.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Really. Let me show you what I mean.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Waiter.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Bring me the telephone, would you? And two more martinis.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Klondike 5-55-66, please.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Hello, Mrs Jorgensen. Frank Wheeler here.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55I just wanted to let you know I've had to send Maureen Grube
0:14:55 > 0:14:57down to Visual Aids for me.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01I'll probably need her the rest of the afternoon, yes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04You too. Take care now.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11I never even heard of Visual Aids.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Ah! That's because it doesn't exist.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Yoo-hoo!
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Hi, Helen. Come on in.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, I can't stay a minute.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I just wanted to bring these sedum plantings
0:15:42 > 0:15:45for that messy patch down by the foot of the drive.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's like the European houseleek,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50only these have the most marvellous little yellow blossoms.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54All it wants for the first few days is just a tiny dollop of water
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and you'll find it absolutely thrives.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Thank you, Helen, that's so kind of you.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Would you like some coffee?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Is there something I can do for you, Helen?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Oh, I almost forgot.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21There is one small favour I would like to ask.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23It's about...
0:16:23 > 0:16:26It's about my son, John.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29He's been in the hospital.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'm sorry. Is everything all right?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Actually, just for the time being, he's in Pleasant Brook...
0:16:35 > 0:16:36..Psychiatric.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Oh.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Oh, I see.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43It's nothing serious.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46He's just got a little run-down.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Things can just get the better of us sometimes, don't you agree?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yes.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Of course.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's a marvellous facility.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And the treatments seem to be doing wonders for him.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Anyway, they said getting him out for an afternoon
0:17:00 > 0:17:03might do him a little bit of good.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07I think he finds my friends a little conventional, quite frankly.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I mean, he's travelled.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He has a PhD in mathematics.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17I suppose you could say he's an intellectual.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It would do him a world of good to meet a young couple like you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Well, we'd love to meet him.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Really?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Yes. We'd love to.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Thank you, dear.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36Thank you.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Well, I must be off.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55I remember the first day you came off the train.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58You weren't like my other clients. You were different.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03You just seemed...special.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Of course, you still are.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Remember, just a dollop. I must scoot.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Toodle-oo.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21Bye.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I think you got me a little drunk.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49You know what today is?
0:18:49 > 0:18:50Monday.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55It's my birthday.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I'm 30 years old today.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Happy birthday.- Thank you.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12What was the name of that department you made up again?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Visu...
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Visual Aids.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23What a joke.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29What a joke! Oh, my...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Do you want to hear a real joke? - Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- My old man worked at Knox. - Yeah?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44He was a salesman in Yonkers.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Oh.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Once a year, he used to take me to the city for lunch.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55It was supposed to be a very special life advice sort of occasion.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Nice.- No, not really.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04I used to sit there and think,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07"I hope to Christ I don't end up like you."
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Now here I am, a 30-year-old Knox man.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Can you beat that?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I think I kind of lost you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Your father worked for Knox.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I'm sorry, everything is just kind of...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36..going out of focus.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45(Why don't we get some air? You and me.)
0:21:23 > 0:21:25'Is this you?'
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Yeah. You been to Paris?
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I've never really been anywhere.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Maybe I'll take you with me then.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37I'm going back the first chance I get, I tell you.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40People are alive there. Not like here.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50All I know, April, is...
0:21:50 > 0:21:54I want to feel things.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Really feel them. You know?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01'How's that for an ambition?'
0:22:02 > 0:22:04'Frank Wheeler.'
0:22:06 > 0:22:10I think you're the most interesting person I've ever met.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Guess this wasn't what you had in mind when you went to work this morning, huh?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22No, it certainly wasn't.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Do you have a cigarette, Frank?
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Yeah, sure.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56There you go.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Can I get you a drink or anything?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04No, thanks, Maureen. Actually, it's getting kind of late.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I guess I'd better be cutting out.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Oh, gee. That's right. Did you miss your train?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's all right, I'll catch the next one.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Listen...you were swell.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Take care now.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Frank.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Why are you all dressed up?
0:24:05 > 0:24:09First of all, I missed you all day. I want to say I'm sorry.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'm sorry for the way I've been since the play.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm sorry for everything. And I love you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19The rest can wait.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Now, you...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- ..just wait here till I call you. OK?- OK.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38All right, Frank, you can come in now.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46SUPPRESSED CHILDREN'S LAUGHTER
0:24:52 > 0:24:55(ALL) # Happy birthday to you
0:24:55 > 0:24:58# Happy birthday to you
0:24:58 > 0:25:03# Happy birthday dear Daddy
0:25:03 > 0:25:06# Happy birthday to you. #
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Happy birthday, darling.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- I love you, Daddy. - I love you, too.
0:25:30 > 0:25:31< Frank.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42Frank. I have had the most wonderful idea.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44I've been thinking about it all day.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46What's all this about?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48You know how much money we have saved?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Enough to live on for six months without you earning a dime.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55With the money we could get from the house and the car, longer than that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57What we could get for the house?
0:25:57 > 0:26:01What are you talking about? Where are we going to live?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Paris.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04What?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07You always said it was the only place you'd ever been
0:26:07 > 0:26:10that you wanted to go back to, the only place that was worth living.
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Why don't we go there?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- You're serious?- Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- What's stopping us? - What's stopping us?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I can think of a number of different things.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23For example, what kind of job could I possibly get?
0:26:23 > 0:26:28You won't be getting any kind of a job...because I will.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Oh, right. - Don't laugh at me. Listen a minute.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Do you know what they pay for secretarial positions
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- in government agencies in Europe? - I don't.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Listen, Frank, I'm serious. Do you think I'm kidding?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I just have a couple of questions.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45For one thing, what exactly am I supposed to be doing
0:26:45 > 0:26:46while you're out earning all this money?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Don't you see? That's the whole idea.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54You'll do what you should have been allowed to do seven years ago.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58You'll have time. For the first time in your life, you'll have time
0:26:58 > 0:27:01to find out what it is you actually want to do.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03And when you figure it out,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06you'll have the time and the freedom to start doing it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Sweetheart, it's just not very realistic, is all.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18No, Frank.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20This is what's unrealistic.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23It's unrealistic for a man with a fine mind
0:27:23 > 0:27:27to go on working year after year at a job he can't stand.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Coming home to a place he can't stand
0:27:29 > 0:27:32to a wife who's equally unable to stand the same things.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Do you want to know the worst part?
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Our whole existence here is based on this great premise
0:27:40 > 0:27:44that we're special and superior to the whole thing.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45But we're not.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50We're just like everyone else. Look at us.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53We've bought into the same ridiculous delusion,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56this idea that you have to resign from life and settle down
0:27:56 > 0:27:58the moment you have children.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01And we've been punishing each other for it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Listen. We decided to move out here.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07No-one forced me to take the job at Knox.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Whoever said I was meant to be a big deal, anyway?
0:28:09 > 0:28:14When I first met you there was nothing in the world you couldn't do or be.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16When you first met me, I was a wise guy with a big mouth.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19You were not! How can you even say that?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25OK. So I'll have time.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29And God knows, that's appealing. It's very appealing.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Everything you're saying makes sense if I had a talent,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- if I were a writer or an artist. - Frank, listen.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Listen to me.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39It's what you are that's being stifled.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42It's what you are that's being denied and denied
0:28:42 > 0:28:44in this kind of life.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And what's that?
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Don't you know?
0:28:54 > 0:28:58You're the most beautiful and wonderful thing in the world.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04You're a man.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24(This is our chance, Frank.)
0:29:24 > 0:29:27(This is our one chance.)
0:29:31 > 0:29:33OK.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38OK?
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Why not?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Why the hell not?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57MUSIC: "Count Every Star" by Donnie and the Dreamers
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Morning, all.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Morning.- Franklin, good to see your shining face. What's the news?
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Fellas, I'm moving to Paris.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Indeed, and I'm moving to Tangiers.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Intra-company letter to Toledo.
0:30:40 > 0:30:45Attention BF Chalmers, branch manager.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50With regard to recent and repeated correspondence,
0:30:50 > 0:30:52this is to advise that the matter
0:30:52 > 0:30:57has been very satisfactorily taken in hand, period. Paragraph.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01We wholly agree that the existing brochure is unsuitable.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04To this end we have developed, quote...

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Here you are, Mrs Wheeler.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25These are the travellers' cheques you requested.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29And your steamer reservations.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32These I'll pass on to the embassy for you.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41September, October at the outside.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44I just happen to think people are better off
0:31:44 > 0:31:47doing some kind of work they actually like.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Right, yes.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55I mean, assuming there is this true vocation waiting for you,
0:31:55 > 0:32:01wouldn't you be just as likely to discover it here as there?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I don't think it's possible to discover anything on the 15th floor
0:32:04 > 0:32:07of the Knox building.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10And I don't think any of you do, either.

0:33:10 > 0:33:12Daddy, will you read to us?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17All...the way...to...here.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21We have to take a big boat right across the sea to get there.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26- But I won't know anybody there. - Oh, I know. Neither will I.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29But remember how you felt when you started school?
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Now look how many friends you have.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35You'll never guess what they eat in Paris.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- You'll never guess.- What?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Slimy snails.- Snails!
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Slimy snails and icky frog's legs.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01You better get changed, they'll be here soon.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Is that what you're wearing?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Don't you like it?- Yeah.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12You look great, doll. Guess I better haul ass.
0:34:29 > 0:34:30Hiya, gang.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36What you watching?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Shep!
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I was calling you and calling you.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Hi.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Here we go.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Just a little something.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Ooh, those look great, I'm starving.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39April.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43I can't get over it. You look like the cat that ate the canary.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Do you have something to tell us?
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Just a little bit of news?
0:35:48 > 0:35:53Well, actually, Milly, we... we do have some important news.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I knew it.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Honey, why don't you tell them?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01We're going to Europe.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03To Paris.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08To live.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- What?- When?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16In September.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18But what for?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20What for? Well...
0:36:20 > 0:36:25Well, because we've always wanted to. Because the kids are young enough.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Because it's beautiful. Shep, you've been there, you tell her.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Yeah, it's a great city.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41When did you make this decision?
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Um, about a week ago. It's hard to remember.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47We just suddenly decided to go, that's all.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- About a week ago, you tell us now. - We had to get used to the idea.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54What's the deal, Frank? You got a job over there or what?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56No, not exactly.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59What do you mean, "Not exactly"?
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Frank won't be getting any kind of a job because I will.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09So what are you going to do, Frank?
0:37:09 > 0:37:13I'm going to study and I'm going to read.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17I suppose I'm going to finally figure out what I want to do with my life.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19While she supports you?
0:37:19 > 0:37:25Yes. While she supports me. In the beginning.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28You wouldn't believe what they pay for secretarial work
0:37:28 > 0:37:30in those government agencies.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33NATO and ECA and those places.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- The cost of living is dirt cheap. - So cheap.
0:37:36 > 0:37:41The truth is, we just need something different.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44We're not getting any younger and don't want life to just pass us by.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46That's right.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Gee, it sounds wonderful, kids.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I mean it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- That really sounds wonderful. - Thank you, Milly.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- We'll certainly miss you both, won't we? Golly.- Sure.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- We'll miss you too.- Of course.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05We should have a toast or something. To Paris!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- To Paris.- To Paris.- To Paris.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25You know what I think?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27What?
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I think this whole plan sounds a little immature.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Oh, God, I am so relieved.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Me, too. I was thinking that the whole time.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40What kind of man is going to sit around in his bathrobe
0:38:40 > 0:38:42picking his nose while his wife goes out and works?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46I don't know, Shep, I just don't know.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Why are you crying?
0:38:56 > 0:38:57What's the matter?
0:39:02 > 0:39:05It's nothing. I'm just so relieved.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Shep.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Don't cry. Please.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14It's all right, everything's going to be all right.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18My God, their faces!
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Oh, God!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Oh, God!
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Do you know what this is like, April? Honestly.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33Talking like this, the whole idea of going off to Europe this way.
0:39:33 > 0:39:38This is the way I felt going up to the line the first time, in the war.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41I was probably just as scared as everyone else
0:39:41 > 0:39:43but inside I never felt better.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I felt...I felt alive, I felt full of blood.
0:39:47 > 0:39:51I felt...everything just... everything seemed more real.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54The guys in the uniforms, the snow on the fields, the trees
0:39:54 > 0:39:58and all of us just walking.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02I was scared, of course, but I just kept thinking,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05"This is it. This is the truth."
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I felt that way once, too.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14When?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24First time you made love to me.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Oh, April.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37- What's up?- Bart Pollock's here. - He's in Bandy's office.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40Big deal, huh?
0:41:44 > 0:41:45BUZZING
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Looks like he wants to talk to you.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Keep my name out of it.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Frank, good to see you. You know Bart Pollock?
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Well, we've never met, but of...
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Good to know you, Frank. "Speaking of Production Control?"
0:42:12 > 0:42:18Frank, this is a crackerjack!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23They are tickled to death in Toledo.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Really?
0:42:31 > 0:42:37So this guy Pollock was perfect presidential material in the worst sense.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41A million-dollar smile and about 3lb of muscle between the ears.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43April, you should have heard this guy.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48"Frank, this is a crackerjack." What a horse's ass.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Wish I'd seen his face when you told him you were leaving.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Yeah.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Here they come.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07- Yoo-hoo! Sorry to be late. - You're not late.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10- The traffic was terrible. - You didn't have to do that.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13- Good to see you.- Wasn't it terrible? - Well, Route 12.
0:43:13 > 0:43:18By the time they finish that stretch they'll have to start all over again.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20You must be John.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23Say hello, John.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Nice to meet you. Heard a lot about you.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Where are your darling children?
0:43:28 > 0:43:32They're at a birthday party. Sorry they couldn't be here.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35Don't worry, if I had a certified lunatic coming round
0:43:35 > 0:43:37I'd probably get the kids out the way too.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39Look at all this food.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41You didn't have to go to any trouble for us.
0:43:41 > 0:43:46Just some sandwiches. John, would you like a sandwich?
0:43:46 > 0:43:49Helen has been talking it up about you people for months.
0:43:49 > 0:43:52The nice young Wheelers on Revolutionary Road.
0:43:52 > 0:43:56The nice young revolutionaries on Wheeler Road.
0:43:56 > 0:44:00- Would anyone like some sherry? - Please don't bother, Frank.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02I'd like some sherry.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06And I'll drink Helen's, too, if she doesn't beat me to it.
0:44:06 > 0:44:08Oh, but, you got a highball glass?
0:44:08 > 0:44:12Put a couple of ice cubes in it, pour it up to the brim.
0:44:12 > 0:44:14That's the way I like it.
0:44:14 > 0:44:16I think I can handle that.
0:44:21 > 0:44:26This egg salad is delicious, April. You must tell me how you fix it.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- You a lawyer, Frank?- No, I'm not.
0:44:29 > 0:44:30I could use a lawyer.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32- HOWARD:- Let's not get started again about the lawyer.
0:44:32 > 0:44:38Couldn't you just sit there and eat your wonderful egg salad and quit horning in?
0:44:38 > 0:44:43See, I've many questions to ask and I'm willing to pay for the answers.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46I don't need to be told that a man who goes after his mother
0:44:46 > 0:44:49with a coffee table is putting himself in a weak position legally.
0:44:49 > 0:44:50That's obvious.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54Come have a look out this fabulous picture window.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57If he hits her with it and kills her that's a criminal case.
0:44:57 > 0:44:58Look! The sun is coming out.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01If all he does is break the table and give her some aggravation
0:45:01 > 0:45:04and she goes to court over it that's a civil case.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Maybe we'll have a rainbow. Come have a look.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10How about doing everybody a favour and shutting up?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12- HOWARD:- Settle down now.
0:45:12 > 0:45:16Maybe I can look into it. Recommend someone, what do you say?
0:45:18 > 0:45:19Hmm.
0:45:23 > 0:45:27So, what do you do, Frank?
0:45:27 > 0:45:30I work at Knox Business Machines.
0:45:30 > 0:45:35- You design the machines?- No. - Make them? Sell them? Repair them?
0:45:35 > 0:45:37All these questions.
0:45:37 > 0:45:40I help sell them, I guess. I work in the office.
0:45:40 > 0:45:44Actually, it's... it's sort of a stupid job, really.
0:45:44 > 0:45:48There's...nothing interesting about it at all.
0:45:48 > 0:45:50What do you do it for, then?
0:45:50 > 0:45:53Maybe Frank doesn't like being questioned.
0:45:53 > 0:45:56OK, OK, OK, I know, it's none of my business.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59And besides, I know the answer.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01You want to play house, you got to have a job.
0:46:01 > 0:46:04You want to play very nice house, very sweet house,
0:46:04 > 0:46:07then you've got to have a job you don't like.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09Anyone comes along and says, "What do you do it for?",
0:46:09 > 0:46:14he's probably on a four-hour pass from the state funny farm.
0:46:15 > 0:46:18All agreed? Ma?
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- HOWARD:- Sorry, Frank.- Don't be.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24Actually, John, I agree with everything you just said.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28We both do, so I'm quitting the job in the fall. We're taking off.
0:46:28 > 0:46:30We're moving to Paris.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37Did you know about this, Ma? Wow.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40How do you feel about that, Ma?
0:46:41 > 0:46:44The nice young Wheelers...
0:46:45 > 0:46:50The nice young Wheelers are taking off.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58John, please.
0:46:58 > 0:46:59Steady down, son.
0:47:04 > 0:47:08John. John! How about some fresh air? What do you say?
0:47:08 > 0:47:10If that's all right with you?
0:47:10 > 0:47:12I don't know if it's such a good idea.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14If John wants to, I don't see the harm.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17- APRIL:- Good.- After you.
0:47:20 > 0:47:23I hear you're a mathematician.
0:47:23 > 0:47:27You hear wrong. It's all gone now.
0:47:27 > 0:47:31- All gone?- You know what electrical shock treatments are?
0:47:31 > 0:47:33Yes. Yes, I do.
0:47:33 > 0:47:35I've had 37.
0:47:38 > 0:47:41It's supposed to jolt out the emotional problems,
0:47:41 > 0:47:44just jolted out the mathematics.
0:47:44 > 0:47:46How awful.
0:47:46 > 0:47:47How awful, why?
0:47:47 > 0:47:52Because mathematics is so interesting?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54No, the shocks must be awful.
0:47:54 > 0:47:58Because it's awful not to be able to do what it is you want to do.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01I think mathematics must be dull.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05- I like your girl, Frank.- Me too.
0:48:05 > 0:48:09So, what do a couple of people like you have to run away from?
0:48:09 > 0:48:12- We're not running. - So what's in Paris?
0:48:12 > 0:48:15- Different way of life. - Maybe we are running.
0:48:15 > 0:48:20Running from the hopeless emptiness of the whole life here, right?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22The hopeless emptiness?
0:48:25 > 0:48:27Now you've said it.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31Plenty of people are on to the emptiness...
0:48:31 > 0:48:35but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.
0:48:39 > 0:48:40Wow.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58You know, he's the first person who seemed to know
0:48:58 > 0:49:00what we were talking about.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04That's true, isn't it?
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Maybe we're just as crazy as he is.
0:49:07 > 0:49:11If being crazy means living life as if it matters,
0:49:11 > 0:49:14then I don't care if we're completely insane.
0:49:16 > 0:49:18Do you?
0:49:21 > 0:49:22No.
0:49:24 > 0:49:26I love you so much.
0:49:36 > 0:49:39Tell you something, Frank.
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Ted Bandy, nice guy, real sport.
0:49:41 > 0:49:45Good enough department head and all but I'm a little sore at him,
0:49:45 > 0:49:47the way he's kept you under a bushel all these years.
0:49:47 > 0:49:51- This place OK for you? - It's just fine, sir, just fine.
0:49:51 > 0:49:54One thing interests me and one thing only.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Selling the electronic computer to the American businessman.
0:49:57 > 0:50:01That's why I'm assembling a team.
0:50:01 > 0:50:04Men like you. Not your average salesmen.
0:50:04 > 0:50:05It will mean more money
0:50:05 > 0:50:10and, I've got to be honest, maybe more of a time commitment.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14But you'll be a part of something exciting, Wheeler. Computers.
0:50:17 > 0:50:20Well, sir, sounds exciting.
0:50:20 > 0:50:22- Bart.- Bart.
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Bart, let me ask you a question.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Do you happen to remember an Earl Wheeler out of Yonkers?
0:50:33 > 0:50:37Can't say that I do. Relation of yours?
0:50:37 > 0:50:42My father. Worked as a salesman for Knox for almost 20 years.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46Earl Wheeler?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48Earl Wheeler?
0:50:50 > 0:50:53There's no reason you'd remember him.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56Well, I'm sure he was a good man.
0:51:03 > 0:51:06Listen, Bart, there's...
0:51:06 > 0:51:10there's something I should have mentioned earlier.
0:51:10 > 0:51:12I'm going to be leaving the firm in the fall.
0:51:14 > 0:51:18- Another outfit? - No, it's not another outfit.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21Look, Frank, is it a question of money?
0:51:21 > 0:51:24If it is there's no reason we can't get together...
0:51:24 > 0:51:29I sure appreciate that, but no, it's not the money, it's...
0:51:29 > 0:51:32Well, it's more of a... more of a personal thing.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34I hope you understand.
0:51:34 > 0:51:36A personal thing.
0:51:36 > 0:51:42I see. Frank, let me tell you something my father told me.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46A man only gets a couple of chances in life.
0:51:46 > 0:51:48If he doesn't grab them by the balls, it won't be long
0:51:48 > 0:51:53before he's sitting around wondering how he got to be second rate.
0:51:58 > 0:51:59I guess so.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02So do me a favour.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Sleep on it.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Discuss it with your wife.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08Because, let's be honest,
0:52:08 > 0:52:11where the hell would any of us be without our wives, anyway?
0:52:14 > 0:52:17And Frank, in all sincerity, if you do decide to join us,
0:52:17 > 0:52:22I believe it will be a thing you'll never regret.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24And I believe something else, too.
0:52:24 > 0:52:28I believe it'd be a fine memorial to your dad.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33Think about it, Frank. Really think about it.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44Knowing what you've got, comma,
0:52:44 > 0:52:48knowing what you need, comma,
0:52:48 > 0:52:54knowing what you can do without, dash,
0:52:54 > 0:52:56that's Inventory Control.
0:53:13 > 0:53:18"Knowing what you've got, comma,
0:53:18 > 0:53:22"knowing what you need, comma,
0:53:22 > 0:53:27"knowing what you can do without, dash,
0:53:27 > 0:53:31"that's Inventory Control."
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Hi, Frank.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36Working late?
0:53:36 > 0:53:38Yeah.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40I got to dig myself out here.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44I heard you were getting promoted.
0:53:45 > 0:53:47Big-shot.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I guess your dad would have been real proud, huh?
0:54:01 > 0:54:03Yeah, I guess so.
0:54:12 > 0:54:16So maybe I should take you for a drink or something.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19You know, celebrate.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25Yeah, maybe.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31I'll just get my things.
0:54:39 > 0:54:43I'm going to bring my doll carriage and my three Easter rabbits
0:54:43 > 0:54:46and all my dolls and my dollhouse and my crayons...
0:54:46 > 0:54:48We could give the dollhouse to Madeleine.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50I don't want to give it to Madeleine.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53I already explained, big things will be hard to pack.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55She can have my bear and my three Easter ra...
0:54:55 > 0:55:00No, just the big things. Wouldn't you rather go outside and play?
0:55:00 > 0:55:01Don't feel like it.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04- You've been inside all day. - I don't feel like it.
0:55:04 > 0:55:08Well, I don't feel like explaining everything 15 times to somebody
0:55:08 > 0:55:10who's too bored and silly to listen.
0:55:17 > 0:55:19- All right, April, what's the matter? - Nothing.
0:55:19 > 0:55:22I don't believe you. Did something happen this morning?
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Nothing happened today that I haven't known about for days.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27What?
0:55:27 > 0:55:31God, Frank, please don't look so dense. You mean you haven't guessed?
0:55:31 > 0:55:34April, what are you talking about?
0:55:37 > 0:55:39I'm pregnant, that's all.
0:55:41 > 0:55:43Wh...What?
0:55:43 > 0:55:47Frank, I meant to wait till the kids were in bed to tell you but I jus...
0:55:47 > 0:55:48I've been pretty sure all week.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Today I went to the doctor and now I can't even pretend it's not true.
0:55:52 > 0:55:54How long?
0:55:54 > 0:55:56Ten weeks.
0:55:58 > 0:55:59Ten weeks?
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Ten weeks and you wait until now to tell me?
0:56:02 > 0:56:06No, I thought... I don't know what I thought.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08I'm sorry, Frank. I'm so sorry.
0:56:08 > 0:56:11I know you are. All right?
0:56:11 > 0:56:13But there are things we can do.
0:56:13 > 0:56:16We don't have to let this stop us from going, do we?
0:56:16 > 0:56:19Remember that girl at school I told you about?
0:56:19 > 0:56:23As long as we take care of it before 12 weeks it's fine.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26We've got to be together in this, Frank.
0:56:29 > 0:56:31Well.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34We'll figure it out. All right?
0:56:35 > 0:56:37Come here.
0:56:39 > 0:56:43Twelve weeks. We have time to decide, right?
0:56:43 > 0:56:45Right.
0:56:46 > 0:56:47I love you.
0:56:52 > 0:56:53I love you, too.
0:57:36 > 0:57:40So, Frank, how's work? Going to survive without you?
0:57:41 > 0:57:46Actually, something kind of funny happened the other day.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51I did some dumb little piece of work to get myself off the hook with Bandy
0:57:51 > 0:57:53and suddenly I'm the bright young man.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56- That's always the way, ain't it? - It's incredible.
0:57:56 > 0:57:59I knocked this thing off in a couple of minutes and now they want me
0:57:59 > 0:58:04- to join their team of specialist salesmen.- Morons.
0:58:04 > 0:58:09Well, it would be funny if they weren't offering so much damn money.
0:58:13 > 0:58:15So, are you tempted?
0:58:15 > 0:58:18Well, it's just kind of ironic, don't you think?
0:58:40 > 0:58:43I thought you turned the job down.
0:58:43 > 0:58:45Well, not yet.
0:58:47 > 0:58:50It's just an option, that's all.
0:58:50 > 0:58:54With that kind of money, things could be different for us here.
0:58:54 > 0:58:57We could get a better place, travel.
0:58:57 > 0:59:00The point is, we could be happy here, at least for a while.
0:59:00 > 0:59:05It is possible that Parisians aren't the only ones capable of leading interesting lives.
0:59:05 > 0:59:08- So you've made up your mind?- No.
0:59:08 > 0:59:11Like I said, it's just an option. That's all.
0:59:14 > 0:59:16And supposing you're right?
0:59:16 > 0:59:21You make all this money and we have this interesting life here.
0:59:21 > 0:59:23Won't you still be wasting your life
0:59:23 > 0:59:25toiling away at a job you find ridiculous?
0:59:27 > 0:59:29Maybe we'll let that be my business.
0:59:29 > 0:59:33- Your business?- It's too hot for this. I'm going to go get wet.
0:59:45 > 0:59:47You don't want to go, do you?
0:59:47 > 0:59:50- Come on, April, of course I do. - No, you don't.
0:59:50 > 0:59:52You've never tried at anything.
0:59:52 > 0:59:55And if you don't try at anything, you can't fail.
0:59:55 > 0:59:58What the hell do you mean I don't try? I support you, don't I?
0:59:58 > 1:00:01I pay for this house, I work ten hours a day at a job
1:00:01 > 1:00:03- I can't stand.- You don't have to.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05Bullshit! I'm not happy about it,
1:00:05 > 1:00:08but I have the backbone not to run away from my responsibilities.
1:00:08 > 1:00:12It takes backbone to lead the life you want, Frank.
1:00:15 > 1:00:17Where are you going?
1:00:17 > 1:00:21If it's all right with you, April, I'm going to use the bathroom. OK?
1:00:48 > 1:00:50What the hell are you going to do with this?
1:00:50 > 1:00:53What do you think you're going to do?
1:00:53 > 1:00:56- You're going to stop me? - Damn right, I am.- Go ahead and try.
1:00:56 > 1:01:00- You do this and I swear to God... - You'll what? You'll leave me?
1:01:00 > 1:01:02Is that a threat or a promise?
1:01:02 > 1:01:05When did you buy this? How long have you had this? I want to know.
1:01:05 > 1:01:08You really are being melodramatic about this whole thing.
1:01:08 > 1:01:12As long as it's done in the first 12 weeks it's perfectly safe.
1:01:12 > 1:01:14That's now! Don't I get a say?
1:01:14 > 1:01:17Of course you do. It would be for you. Don't you see?
1:01:17 > 1:01:19So you can have time, like we talked about.
1:01:19 > 1:01:23How can it be for me when the thought of it makes my stomach turn over?
1:01:23 > 1:01:26Then it's for me. Tell me we can have the baby in Paris,
1:01:26 > 1:01:28tell me we can have a different life,
1:01:28 > 1:01:30but don't make me stay here, please.
1:01:30 > 1:01:31We can't have the baby in Paris.
1:01:31 > 1:01:35Why not? I don't need everything we have here.
1:01:35 > 1:01:38I don't care where we live. Who made these rules, anyway?
1:01:39 > 1:01:45Look, the only reason we moved out here was because I got pregnant.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48Then we had another child to prove the first one wasn't a mistake.
1:01:48 > 1:01:49How long does it go on?
1:01:51 > 1:01:55Frank, do you actually want another child?
1:01:55 > 1:01:57Well, do you?
1:01:57 > 1:02:02Come on, tell me. Tell me the truth, Frank.
1:02:02 > 1:02:05Remember that? We used to live by it.
1:02:05 > 1:02:08And you know what's so good about the truth?
1:02:08 > 1:02:12Everyone knows what it is however long they've lived without it.
1:02:12 > 1:02:17No-one forgets the truth, Frank. They just get better at lying.
1:02:17 > 1:02:20So tell me.
1:02:20 > 1:02:22Do you really want another child?
1:02:24 > 1:02:25All I know is what I feel.
1:02:28 > 1:02:33And anyone else in their right mind would feel the same way, April.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35But I've had two children.
1:02:35 > 1:02:37Doesn't that count in my favour?
1:02:37 > 1:02:40Christ, the fact you even put it that way,
1:02:40 > 1:02:43you make it seem as if having children is some sort of punishment.
1:02:43 > 1:02:46I love my children, Frank.
1:02:46 > 1:02:49And you're sure about that, huh?
1:02:49 > 1:02:52What the hell is that supposed to mean?
1:02:52 > 1:02:56April, you just said our daughter was a mistake.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58How do I know you didn't try to get rid of her,
1:02:58 > 1:02:59or Michael for that matter?
1:02:59 > 1:03:03How do I know you didn't try to flush our entire family down the toilet?
1:03:03 > 1:03:06That's not true. Of course I didn't.
1:03:06 > 1:03:07But how do I know, April?
1:03:07 > 1:03:11Stop, please, just stop, Frank.
1:03:11 > 1:03:15April, a normal woman, a normal, sane mother
1:03:15 > 1:03:19doesn't buy a piece of rubber tubing to give herself an abortion
1:03:19 > 1:03:22so she can live out some kind of a goddamn fantasy!
1:03:32 > 1:03:33Look.
1:03:33 > 1:03:38All I'm saying is you don't seem entirely rational about this thing.
1:03:38 > 1:03:41And I think it's about time we found somebody
1:03:41 > 1:03:43to help make some sense of your life.
1:03:43 > 1:03:47And the new job is going to pay for that, too?
1:03:49 > 1:03:52April...
1:03:52 > 1:03:55if you need a shrink it will be paid for.
1:03:55 > 1:03:56Obviously.
1:04:00 > 1:04:05OK. I guess there isn't much more to say then, is there?
1:04:13 > 1:04:17So I guess Paris was a pretty childish idea, huh?
1:04:22 > 1:04:24I guess maybe it was.
1:04:36 > 1:04:38April.
1:04:38 > 1:04:41We can be happy here.
1:04:42 > 1:04:44I can make you happy here.
1:04:44 > 1:04:48We've had a great couple of months, it doesn't need to end.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52We're going to be OK.
1:04:53 > 1:04:56I promise.
1:04:58 > 1:05:00I hope so, Frank.
1:05:02 > 1:05:03I really hope so.
1:05:42 > 1:05:47Thank you for waiting. Mr Pollock will see you now.
1:05:47 > 1:05:49Thanks a bunch.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01Foiled by faulty contraception.
1:06:04 > 1:06:05I can't say that I'm sorry.
1:06:05 > 1:06:08You'd have been sorely missed in the old cubicle, I can tell you that.
1:06:08 > 1:06:10Wouldn't have been the same without you.
1:06:10 > 1:06:13Besides, we're...
1:06:14 > 1:06:15Well...
1:06:17 > 1:06:18What?
1:06:19 > 1:06:24The plan always seemed a touch unrealistic, don't you think?
1:06:29 > 1:06:33- I suppose it's none of my business. - No, I suppose it isn't.
1:06:37 > 1:06:38Well.
1:06:41 > 1:06:44They'll be celebrating in the secretarial pool.

1:07:12 > 1:07:15Hey, you remember the first time you brought us here?
1:07:15 > 1:07:16Oh, absolutely.
1:07:16 > 1:07:20You said it takes a special kind of taste to enjoy Vito's Log Cabin.
1:07:20 > 1:07:23"It's so awful, it's kind of nice."
1:07:26 > 1:07:28Look at me.
1:07:28 > 1:07:30Just so happy.
1:07:30 > 1:07:33The little gang is back together again.

1:07:44 > 1:07:48Hey, Europe's not going anywhere.
1:07:48 > 1:07:49That's right.
1:08:09 > 1:08:11April, honey,
1:08:11 > 1:08:13how about a dance?
1:08:15 > 1:08:17Not right now. Maybe later.
1:08:17 > 1:08:21- I'll dance.- OK.
1:08:34 > 1:08:36Guess she's still pretty blue about Paris, huh?
1:08:36 > 1:08:40- Think she'll be OK?- Sure.
1:08:40 > 1:08:44Give us girls a couple of days and we can get over anything.
1:08:45 > 1:08:47Oh, Frank!
1:08:50 > 1:08:51Frank.
1:08:53 > 1:08:56Frank. Frank...
1:08:56 > 1:08:58Are you OK?
1:08:58 > 1:09:00Are you OK? Milly.
1:09:00 > 1:09:02I'm so sorry.
1:09:02 > 1:09:04Excuse me.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09That's just great(!)
1:09:10 > 1:09:13How the hell are we supposed to get out now?
1:09:13 > 1:09:14Oh, boy.
1:09:16 > 1:09:19Don't worry about it, Shep, we can wait. Really.
1:09:19 > 1:09:21What about the sitter?
1:09:21 > 1:09:25Why don't you drive Milly home, then go home yourself?
1:09:25 > 1:09:29- Then Shep can take me home later. - That's fine by me.
1:09:29 > 1:09:34OK, then. You'll be all right?
1:09:34 > 1:09:36- Sure.- OK.
1:09:37 > 1:09:41- Goodnight.- Goodnight.- Goodnight. - Feel better.
1:10:00 > 1:10:03I'm sorry you're not going away any more.
1:10:03 > 1:10:05I know it was important to you.
1:10:07 > 1:10:11Don't take this wrong but... I've been there.
1:10:11 > 1:10:15They don't have so much we don't have here.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19It didn't have to be Paris.
1:10:19 > 1:10:23You just...wanted out, huh?
1:10:23 > 1:10:24I wanted in.
1:10:28 > 1:10:32I just... I just wanted us to live again.
1:10:37 > 1:10:40For years I thought we shared this secret.
1:10:43 > 1:10:45That we would be wonderful in the world.
1:10:49 > 1:10:53I didn't exactly know how but just...
1:10:53 > 1:10:55just the possibility kept me hoping.
1:11:02 > 1:11:04How pathetic is that?
1:11:06 > 1:11:07So stupid.
1:11:09 > 1:11:15To put all your hopes in a promise that was never made.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22See, Frank knows. He knows what he wants.
1:11:22 > 1:11:24He's found his place, he's just fine.
1:11:25 > 1:11:27Married, two kids.
1:11:32 > 1:11:33Should be enough.
1:11:39 > 1:11:40It is for him.
1:11:45 > 1:11:46And he's right.
1:11:48 > 1:11:52We were never special, or destined, or anything at all.
1:11:52 > 1:11:54Yes, you are.
1:11:56 > 1:11:57You're...
1:11:58 > 1:12:00..you're the Wheelers.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03You're a terrific couple. Everybody says so.
1:12:05 > 1:12:07I saw a whole other future.
1:12:10 > 1:12:12I can't stop seeing it.
1:12:17 > 1:12:18Can't leave.
1:12:20 > 1:12:22Can't stay.

1:13:45 > 1:13:49- Let me take you somewhere. - No, just do it here. Now.
1:14:34 > 1:14:35April.
1:14:38 > 1:14:40This is what I've always wanted.
1:14:41 > 1:14:43I love you.
1:14:43 > 1:14:45Don't say that.
1:14:47 > 1:14:49No, I mean it.
1:14:49 > 1:14:50I love you.
1:14:50 > 1:14:54Please, just... be quiet for a minute.
1:14:58 > 1:15:00Then you can take me home.
1:15:49 > 1:15:50It's beautiful out.
1:15:52 > 1:15:53Yes, it is.
1:15:58 > 1:16:01You know what today is?
1:16:01 > 1:16:02It's 12 weeks.
1:16:02 > 1:16:04That's right.
1:16:06 > 1:16:09Look.
1:16:09 > 1:16:11It's been kind of a crazy summer.
1:16:11 > 1:16:13We've both been under a strain.
1:16:13 > 1:16:15I understand why you're upset.
1:16:15 > 1:16:20You know I'm not sleeping with you and you want to know why.
1:16:20 > 1:16:26I'm sorry, Frank, but I just really don't feel like talking about it.
1:16:26 > 1:16:29All right, then, what should we talk about, April?
1:16:29 > 1:16:32Would it be all right if we didn't talk about anything?
1:16:32 > 1:16:36Can't we just take each day as it comes and do the best we can
1:16:36 > 1:16:39and not feel like we have to talk about everything all the time?
1:16:39 > 1:16:43I don't think I'm suggesting that we talk about everything all the time.
1:16:43 > 1:16:46My point is we've both been under a strain.
1:16:46 > 1:16:51We ought to be helping each other out as much as we can right now.
1:16:51 > 1:16:55God knows, my own behaviour has been pretty weird lately.
1:16:57 > 1:17:01As a matter of fact, there is something I'd like to tell you about.
1:17:02 > 1:17:05I've been with a girl a few times.
1:17:05 > 1:17:08In the city.
1:17:08 > 1:17:11A girl I hardly even know.
1:17:11 > 1:17:13It's nothing to me.
1:17:13 > 1:17:16But...but it's over now.
1:17:16 > 1:17:18Really over.
1:17:18 > 1:17:22And if I weren't sure of that I guess I could never have told you about it.
1:17:27 > 1:17:28Why did you?
1:17:28 > 1:17:30Baby, I don't know.
1:17:31 > 1:17:34I think it's a simple case of wanting to be a man again
1:17:34 > 1:17:36after all that abortion business.
1:17:36 > 1:17:39Some kind of neurotic, irrational need to prove something...
1:17:39 > 1:17:43No, I don't mean why did you have the girl.
1:17:43 > 1:17:45I mean why did you tell me about it?
1:17:47 > 1:17:49What do you mean?
1:17:49 > 1:17:50I mean, what's the point?
1:17:52 > 1:17:55Is it supposed to make me jealous or something?
1:17:55 > 1:17:57Is it supposed to make me fall in love with you
1:17:57 > 1:17:59or back into bed with you, or what?
1:17:59 > 1:18:04I mean, what would you like me to say, Frank?
1:18:05 > 1:18:07Why don't you say what you feel, April?
1:18:09 > 1:18:10I don't feel anything.
1:18:10 > 1:18:15In other words, you don't care what I do or who I fuck or anything?
1:18:19 > 1:18:20No.
1:18:20 > 1:18:22I guess that's right, I don't.
1:18:24 > 1:18:26Fuck who you like.
1:18:26 > 1:18:29April, don't you understand that I want you to care?
1:18:29 > 1:18:31I know. I know you do.
1:18:31 > 1:18:34And I suppose I would, if I loved you.
1:18:34 > 1:18:37But I don't think I do any more and I only just figured that out.
1:18:37 > 1:18:41And that's why I'd just as soon not do any talking right now.
1:18:41 > 1:18:45Don't give me that shit, April. You know goddamn well you love me.
1:18:45 > 1:18:48- You think so? - You know goddamn well.
1:18:48 > 1:18:51Yoo-hoo. Anyone home?
1:18:55 > 1:18:59I'm sorry dinner's late. Would anyone like another drink?
1:18:59 > 1:19:03Don't worry. It's nice to just sit a bit and socialise.
1:19:03 > 1:19:05You shouldn't have gone to all this trouble.
1:19:05 > 1:19:08With all your packing and whatnot, you have a lot on your plate.
1:19:08 > 1:19:11No pun intended.
1:19:11 > 1:19:14- Actually, there's been a change of plans.- Oh?
1:19:14 > 1:19:18I thought maybe it was obvious. April here is pregnant.
1:19:18 > 1:19:20- HOWARD:- Congratulations!
1:19:20 > 1:19:24April, I can't tell you how pleased I am.
1:19:24 > 1:19:28Oh, but I expect you'll be needing a bigger house now, won't you?
1:19:28 > 1:19:31- <- Hold on a second, Ma. I don't get this.
1:19:31 > 1:19:34What's so obvious about it?
1:19:34 > 1:19:38OK, she's pregnant. So what? Don't people have babies in Europe?
1:19:38 > 1:19:42Suppose we just say that people anywhere aren't very well advised
1:19:42 > 1:19:45to have babies unless they can afford them.
1:19:45 > 1:19:50OK, it's a question of money. Money is a good reason.
1:19:50 > 1:19:53But it's hardly ever the real reason.
1:19:53 > 1:19:56What's the real reason?
1:19:57 > 1:19:59Wife talk you out of it or what?
1:19:59 > 1:20:03Little woman decides she isn't quite ready to quit playing house?
1:20:04 > 1:20:06No, that's not it.
1:20:06 > 1:20:10I can tell, she looks too tough and adequate as hell.
1:20:11 > 1:20:13OK, then.
1:20:13 > 1:20:16It must have been you. What happened?
1:20:16 > 1:20:19- John, please, you're being very rude.- No, no.
1:20:19 > 1:20:21What happened, Frank?
1:20:26 > 1:20:30You get cold feet? You decide you're better off here after all?
1:20:30 > 1:20:36You figure it's more comfy here,
1:20:36 > 1:20:39in the old hopeless emptiness, after all?
1:20:42 > 1:20:44Wow, that did it. Look at his face.
1:20:44 > 1:20:46What's the matter, am I getting warm?
1:20:46 > 1:20:50- All right, Son, I think we better... - You know something?
1:20:50 > 1:20:53I wouldn't be surprised if he knocked her up on purpose,
1:20:53 > 1:20:56just so he could spend his life hiding behind a maternity dress.
1:20:56 > 1:20:59That way he'd never have to find out what he's really made of.
1:20:59 > 1:21:04Now, look! I think that's just about enough out of you.
1:21:04 > 1:21:06Who the hell do you think you are?
1:21:06 > 1:21:10You come in here and say what ever crazy thing comes into your head.
1:21:10 > 1:21:13I think it's about time somebody told you to keep your goddamn mouth shut.
1:21:13 > 1:21:16- He's not well, Frank. - Not well, my ass!
1:21:16 > 1:21:20I don't give a damn if he's sick, or well, or dead or alive.
1:21:20 > 1:21:22He should keep his fucking opinions
1:21:22 > 1:21:26in the fucking insane asylum where they belong!
1:21:28 > 1:21:31- HOWARD:- Let's go, Son. - Come on, John.
1:21:35 > 1:21:37Big man you got there, April.
1:21:37 > 1:21:40Big family man.
1:21:43 > 1:21:45I feel sorry for you.
1:21:47 > 1:21:51Still, maybe you deserve each other.
1:21:51 > 1:21:54I mean, the way you look right now
1:21:54 > 1:21:57I'm beginning to feel sorry for him, too.
1:21:57 > 1:21:59You must give him a pretty bad time
1:21:59 > 1:22:03if making babies is the only way he can prove he's got a pair of balls.
1:22:03 > 1:22:08- You fucking... - No, he's not well, Frank!
1:22:19 > 1:22:22All right, John, let's get on out to the car now.
1:22:28 > 1:22:32April, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
1:22:32 > 1:22:36Right! Sorry, sorry. Sorry.
1:22:36 > 1:22:40Oh, Ma, have I said I'm sorry enough times? Damn!
1:22:40 > 1:22:45I am sorry, too. I'm just about the sorriest bastard I know.
1:22:45 > 1:22:49But I don't have a whole hell of a lot to be glad about, do I?
1:22:51 > 1:22:56But, hey, you know what? I'm glad about one thing.
1:22:56 > 1:23:00You want to know what I'm glad about?
1:23:02 > 1:23:04I'm glad I'm not going to be that kid.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24OK, don't tell me.
1:23:25 > 1:23:28Don't tell me, let me guess.
1:23:28 > 1:23:31I made a disgusting spectacle of myself, right?
1:23:33 > 1:23:34Right.
1:23:34 > 1:23:37And everything that man said is true, is that what you're going to say?
1:23:37 > 1:23:41Apparently I don't have to. You're saying it for me.
1:23:41 > 1:23:42You're wrong, April.
1:23:42 > 1:23:44Really? Why am I wrong?
1:23:44 > 1:23:47Because the man is insane. He's fucking insane.
1:23:47 > 1:23:51- Do you know what the definition of insanity is?- No, do you?
1:23:51 > 1:23:54It's the inability to relate to another human being.
1:23:54 > 1:23:57It's the inability to love.
1:23:57 > 1:24:01APRIL LAUGHS
1:24:01 > 1:24:03April. April.
1:24:03 > 1:24:05April!
1:24:06 > 1:24:07April!
1:24:07 > 1:24:09The inabil...
1:24:09 > 1:24:11The inability...
1:24:11 > 1:24:15Oh, Frank, you really are a wonderful talker.
1:24:15 > 1:24:18If black could be made into white by talking,
1:24:18 > 1:24:20you'd be the man for the job.
1:24:20 > 1:24:24So now I'm crazy because I don't love you. Is that the point?
1:24:24 > 1:24:29No, wrong! You're not crazy and you do love me. That's the point, April.
1:24:29 > 1:24:31But I don't.
1:24:31 > 1:24:33I hate you.
1:24:33 > 1:24:36You are just some boy who made me laugh at a party once
1:24:36 > 1:24:39and now I loathe the sight of you.
1:24:39 > 1:24:42In fact, if you come any closer, if you touch me or anything,
1:24:42 > 1:24:44I think I'll scream.
1:24:44 > 1:24:47Look, come on, stop this, April.
1:24:52 > 1:24:55Fuck you, April!
1:24:55 > 1:24:57Fuck you and all your hateful...
1:24:57 > 1:24:59What are you going to do now?
1:24:59 > 1:25:02Hit me to show me how much you love me?
1:25:02 > 1:25:04I can't be bothered.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06You're not worth the trouble it would take to hit you.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09You're not worth the powder it would take to blow you up.
1:25:09 > 1:25:14You are an empty, empty, hollow shell of a woman.
1:25:14 > 1:25:19I mean, what the hell are you doing in my house if you hate me so much?
1:25:19 > 1:25:21Why the hell are you married to me?
1:25:21 > 1:25:23What the hell are you doing carrying my child?
1:25:23 > 1:25:26Why didn't you get rid of it when you had the chance?
1:25:26 > 1:25:29Because, listen to me, I've got news for you.
1:25:29 > 1:25:31I wish to God that you had.
1:25:57 > 1:25:59FRONT DOOR SLAMS
1:26:04 > 1:26:06April.
1:26:07 > 1:26:09April!
1:26:13 > 1:26:14April!
1:26:19 > 1:26:21April.
1:26:26 > 1:26:27April.
1:26:28 > 1:26:30April!
1:26:38 > 1:26:40- April.- Stay away from me.
1:26:40 > 1:26:42- April, listen.- Stay away from me.
1:26:42 > 1:26:44Can't I even get away from you in the fucking woods?
1:26:44 > 1:26:47I didn't mean that. Honestly, I didn't mean what I...
1:26:47 > 1:26:51You're still talking. Isn't there any way to stop your talking?
1:26:51 > 1:26:55I need to think. Can't you see that? I need to think.
1:26:57 > 1:26:59Please come back to the house. What are you doing?
1:26:59 > 1:27:03Do you want me to scream again? Because I will. I mean it.
1:27:11 > 1:27:13OK. OK.
1:30:38 > 1:30:39Good morning.
1:30:41 > 1:30:43Good morning.
1:30:44 > 1:30:47Would you like scrambled eggs or fried?
1:30:52 > 1:30:54I don't know.
1:30:54 > 1:30:55Doesn't really matter.
1:30:57 > 1:30:59Scrambled, I guess, if it's easy.
1:30:59 > 1:31:01Fine.
1:31:01 > 1:31:03I'll have scrambled, too.
1:31:58 > 1:32:01It's kind of nice having breakfast without the kids for a change, huh?
1:32:01 > 1:32:03Yes.
1:32:04 > 1:32:07I thought you'd probably want a good breakfast today.
1:32:07 > 1:32:10It's kind of an important day for you, isn't it?
1:32:10 > 1:32:14Isn't this the day you have your conference with Pollock?
1:32:16 > 1:32:18Yes. Yes, that's right.
1:32:20 > 1:32:22Big deal(!)
1:32:23 > 1:32:25I imagine it is a pretty big deal.
1:32:25 > 1:32:27For them, anyway.
1:32:28 > 1:32:32What exactly do you think you'll be doing in your new job?
1:32:32 > 1:32:36- You haven't really told me much about it.- Haven't I?
1:32:39 > 1:32:42Well, I think this whole thing is about Knox getting ready to buy up
1:32:42 > 1:32:45one of those really big computers.
1:32:45 > 1:32:46Even bigger than the 500.
1:32:47 > 1:32:51- Didn't I tell you about that? - No.
1:32:51 > 1:32:53Why don't you tell me now?
1:32:57 > 1:32:59Well.
1:32:59 > 1:33:04Basically it's just a big, fast adding machine.
1:33:06 > 1:33:09Only instead of mechanical parts, you see,
1:33:09 > 1:33:12you've got...
1:33:12 > 1:33:15thousands of individual vacuum tubes.
1:33:25 > 1:33:27I see.
1:33:33 > 1:33:36At least I think I see.
1:33:39 > 1:33:42Yes, it's really kind of interesting, isn't it?
1:33:45 > 1:33:46I don't know.
1:33:49 > 1:33:52Yeah, I guess it is kind of interesting, in a way.
1:33:56 > 1:33:58You should value what you do, Frank.
1:34:00 > 1:34:02You're obviously good at it.
1:34:17 > 1:34:19I guess I'd better be getting started.
1:34:26 > 1:34:28Listen, though, April...
1:34:31 > 1:34:33..this was really nice.
1:34:34 > 1:34:37I mean, it was a swell breakfast, really.
1:34:37 > 1:34:41I don't know when I've ever had a nicer breakfast.
1:34:43 > 1:34:45Thank you.
1:34:45 > 1:34:47I enjoyed it too.
1:35:08 > 1:35:13And you don't... you don't hate me or anything?
1:35:14 > 1:35:17No.
1:35:17 > 1:35:18No, of course I don't.
1:35:28 > 1:35:29Have a good day.
1:35:36 > 1:35:39OK, then.
1:35:39 > 1:35:41So long.
1:37:18 > 1:37:20Hello. Milly?
1:37:21 > 1:37:23Everything all right?
1:37:24 > 1:37:30Well, no, I'm afraid I'm not feeling any better. That's why I called.
1:37:30 > 1:37:35If it's not an inconvenience for you, this evening would be great.
1:37:35 > 1:37:36What?
1:37:38 > 1:37:41Oh, no.
1:37:41 > 1:37:42No.
1:37:42 > 1:37:44Not if they're outdoors playing.
1:37:48 > 1:37:50Don't call them in. Just...
1:37:52 > 1:37:55..give them each a kiss for me.
1:37:55 > 1:37:57And tell them I...
1:37:59 > 1:38:00Tell them...
1:38:02 > 1:38:05Oh, you know. All right. All right.
1:38:05 > 1:38:08Thank you, Milly. Bye.
1:41:31 > 1:41:34(I think I need help.)
1:41:34 > 1:41:38115 Revolutionary Road.
1:41:47 > 1:41:50SIREN BLARES
1:42:04 > 1:42:08- Frank. Tell you what happened? - Jesus Christ, Shep, I didn't...
1:42:10 > 1:42:13Foetus was out before they got her here.
1:42:13 > 1:42:16They had to operate to take out the... What do you call it?
1:42:16 > 1:42:19The placenta? Now she's still bleeding.
1:42:19 > 1:42:22They said she lost a lot of blood before the ambulance came.
1:42:22 > 1:42:24Now they're trying to stop it.
1:42:24 > 1:42:29He said a lot of things I didn't understand about capillaries.
1:42:29 > 1:42:31He said that she's unconscious.
1:42:33 > 1:42:36- Jesus.- OK, Frank, why don't you take a seat?
1:42:36 > 1:42:38What the hell do I want to sit down for?
1:42:38 > 1:42:41OK, Frank, just take it easy.
1:42:41 > 1:42:42Take it easy.
1:42:44 > 1:42:45Frank, have a cigarette.
1:42:45 > 1:42:48She did it to herself, Shep.
1:42:49 > 1:42:51She did it to herself.
1:42:58 > 1:42:59Let me get you some coffee.
1:44:08 > 1:44:13They were such wonderful people, weren't they, Shep?
1:44:13 > 1:44:15It's just devastating.
1:44:16 > 1:44:18Poor April.
1:44:20 > 1:44:24Frank lives in the city now. Where is it that he works?
1:44:24 > 1:44:26Bart Pollock Associates.
1:44:26 > 1:44:27Computers.
1:44:27 > 1:44:29Interesting firm.
1:44:29 > 1:44:32Have you seen him since?
1:44:32 > 1:44:36No, not back here. Too many memories, I think.
1:44:36 > 1:44:39Shep has seen him in the city, haven't you, sweetie?
1:44:39 > 1:44:42Frank is just devoted to those kids.
1:44:42 > 1:44:46Every spare moment he has he spends with them.
1:45:01 > 1:45:02Excuse me.
1:45:12 > 1:45:13You all right?
1:45:19 > 1:45:22I don't want to talk about the Wheelers any more.
1:45:24 > 1:45:25OK.
1:45:27 > 1:45:28We don't have to.
1:45:31 > 1:45:32We don't have to.
1:46:13 > 1:46:16- <- Daddy, watch. Watch, Daddy.
1:46:16 > 1:46:17CHILD LAUGHS
1:46:21 > 1:46:24HELEN: I can't tell you how pleased I am
1:46:24 > 1:46:27about the little Revolutionary Road place, Howard.
1:46:27 > 1:46:30And now whenever I drive past, it gives me such a lift
1:46:30 > 1:46:33to see it all perked up and spanking clean again.
1:46:33 > 1:46:36All the lights in all the windows.
1:46:36 > 1:46:39And do you know I was just thinking,
1:46:39 > 1:46:41I've loved that little house for years.
1:46:41 > 1:46:44The Braces are the only really suitable people
1:46:44 > 1:46:48I've ever found for it. Really nice, congenial people, I mean.
1:46:48 > 1:46:51Well, except for the Wheelers, you mean.
1:46:53 > 1:46:56I was very fond of the Wheelers.
1:46:56 > 1:47:00They were a bit whimsical for my taste, a bit neurotic.
1:47:00 > 1:47:04I never stressed it but they were often trying people to deal with,
1:47:04 > 1:47:06in many ways.
1:47:06 > 1:47:11And actually the main reason the little house was so hard to sell
1:47:11 > 1:47:14was because they let it depreciate so dreadfully.
1:47:14 > 1:47:17Warped window frames, wet cellar,
1:47:17 > 1:47:20crayon marks all over the walls,
1:47:20 > 1:47:22filthy smudges around the doorknobs...
